Prayer Requests and Thanksgivings: May 19

Posted on May 19, 2020 by Ronda

Prayer Requests:

Shelia Bucher: Praying that my house will be restored soon so we can move back home. The furnace and hot water needs replacement.

Church office: Please pray for Jerry Welch. He will be having back surgery this week.

Myrtle McIntire: Please pray for Jovie Crosby. She was in a terrible car accident and has a long road to recovery ahead. She is out of the hospital and needs our prayers.

David Bruner: Continue to pray for John & Beverly O’Neal. John is still suffering with an infection in his lung.

Dan & Teri Dupey: Continue our prayers in behalf of Bob Brown and Larry Grow. And, remember, Bonnie’s son, Brian, still needs our prayers. (Needing a kidney),

Remember, Irene Clark, Carole Fredrikson, Doran Linder as he travels back east to pick up his daughter, CCS school parent’s needs, as well as Emily during this time.

We were recently talking to a senior saint that was a little discouraged. During this time, these feelings can happen easily when you cannot really get out much.  We can see in 1 Samuel 30, King David was having a terrible, upsetting day. “And David was greatly distressed …………………….But, David strengthened himself in the Lord his God” Of course, we know that God’s Word can lift us up. We just need to commit to doing it.

The joy of the Lord is, and will be, our strength. Psalm 59:16, Psalm 63:6-9, Psalm 28:7

Sandra Welch: Prayers for Holly & Andy Valentine. Andy’s step-mom, who he is very close to, passed away suddenly on Monday. Please pray for the family.

Anita Poland: Please pray for Geraldine Davis, my son’s fiancé, who will have surgery next Friday. Thank you.

Brittanie De Bias: Please pray for Dallas Parker, a 2-year-old child with a rare type of meningitis.  Dallas has been suffering with seizures and is in the hospital.  Please pray for Dallas’s parents, Jeff & April.

Shirley Deitz: Please pray for Ethel Drapeau.  She fell in her home and was hospitalized.  She is deaf and almost blind and can use our prayers.

Dave Hopkins: Prayers for my real estate classes. Thankful I passed week 1. Week 2 class this week. Then the state and national test on June 6. Miss the church family. Praying all are safe and well. Until we meet again.

Thanksgivings:

Church office: Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful donations for the food pantry! The families that we serve will be so very blessed.

We Will Gather for Worship Beginning May 31st

Posted on May 18, 2020 by Ronda

Short of gathering while everyone is wearing bio-hazard suits, it is impossible to promise a 100% virus free environment for our church meetings. What we can do is follow the guidelines of our area’s public health and medical professionals to minimize the risk of gathering as a church. All we can do is trust in God’s provision and be responsible stewards of the information health officials have provided us. We trust our practices will slowly return us to a more normal routine as we learn more about how to best cope with this pandemic. We must be patient and thoughtful. Finally, we must respect anyone who feels their personal health challenges require them to adopt a more cautious routine for re-entering public settings.

  1. We will meet for worship at 10:15am on Sundays (children’s worship and Bible classes will not return until later in the summer). There will be a nursery available but not staffed, so parents may use the nursery for their children if they wish to do so. We ask adults to wear a mask if there will be other adults present in the nursery.
  2. Greeters will open the building doors for everyone entering and leaving to minimize those who have to touch these surfaces.
  3. We ask all to sanitize their hands as they enter the building (hand sanitizing stations will be available throughout the building).
  4. We will practice social distancing as much as possible (asking individual family units to space themselves out in the pews at least six feet from others and to be responsive to ushers trying to assist this process).
  5. We ask everyone to wear a mask when social distancing is NOT possible and/or they will be likely to pass within 6 feet from other people. (You may NOT think you need a mask, but we wear masks not for ourselves, but out of respect to others and their safety).
  6. We discourage people from physical contact with each other (no handshaking or hugging for a while, even though we know this will be a challenge for most).
  7. In taking communion together, we will use the sealed wafers of bread and juice for safety and health purposes. People may pick up these communion items as they enter the building.
  8. There will be several offering stations where those willing to give to the Lord may leave their gift.

If you have any questions about our plan for resuming our church gatherings, then please call the church office. Those calling each member of our congregation from time to time, will be trying to get a general sense of the number we might expect on May 31st to further assist our preparations. May God bless us all and may we never grow weary of asking for His wisdom in how we live out the gift of each day.

Michael’s devotional message will be posted this Sunday on our church website. This week’s sermon message continues Michael’s Living in God’s Light in a World of Grey: Thoughts on 1 John series with a message entitled “Can You Imagine?”  Please listen.

We could use food items for our pantry (especially, stews, soups, and easy to microwave box meals). The grocery cart will be outside our building (weather permitting) so you will not need to come inside. Those needing food just give the office a call for an appointment to come by.
